USPS Service Suspension to Hong Kong
The U.S Postal Service has TEMPORARILY suspended parcel delivery to Hong Kong, due to the lack of air transport options to the city.
The following services are impacted:
- Priority Mail Express International (PMEI)
- Priority Mail International (PMI)
- First-Class Mail International (FCMI)
- First-Class Package International Service (FCPIS)
- International Priority Airmail (IPA) Packets
- International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) Packets
- Airmail M-bags
Parcels currently in the mail stream will be marked as “Mail Service Suspended —Return to Sender” and sent back to shippers. The U.S Postal Service will issue a full refund of the shipping expenses paid.
Alternate Delivery Options to Hong Kong
If you have a shipment you need to send to Hong Kong during this suspension period, we recommend you use GlobalPost Standard International.
GlobalPost Standard International gets door-to-door tracking capabilities to over 200 countries and uses a network of postal carriers which provides a similar service to First Class Package International Service at a lower rate.
If you don’t see GlobalPost International Standard as an option in your shipping software, contact Customer Care at 1-888-434-0055 (open Monday to Friday, 6 am to 6 pm PT) to request access to GlobalPost carrier services.
